Happy December First!

This year on Thanksgiving break, the kids set to work making their own advent calendar. How cute is that! I downloaded the numbers from here, and they cut all the numbers and squares out on their own. They couldn't wait for me to sew down the numbers and squares to the felt backing. (all of the materials are felt) We put cute stickers inside of each number.......you could add little candy canes and chocolates if you like.......we decided to make the treats sans sugar.

Kids Advent Calendar

They were so excited for December first to roll around.

Opening the X-mas decor

I dug out this Christmas box full of decorations and ornaments..........seems just like yesterday that I was packing it up, like Alicia mentioned today, on her blog.

Beginnings of gifting

I've been busy sewing up a storm. Loving Amy Butler's latest LOVE line!

Lovely fabrics to play with

In the meantime, it's too gorgeous to be stuck indoors...........I'm still planning some fun Fall hikes and picnics. Can you believe it's almost the end of the year, already?

For those of you who are anxiously awaiting the rest of the winning gluten-free recipes, I will be posting them soon. Stay tuned.

Toodles for now,
Laurie~
